Biography

Having left school in Belfast, Northern Ireland without qualifications, Phil’s first career involved eighteen years in Law Enforcement there, primarily in counter-terrorism and public order roles in a challenging period of Northern Ireland’s history. He then relocated to Scotland, and studied for and obtained his LLB (Honours) at the University of Aberdeen whilst working full-time in the call-centre industry. He then studied for and obtained his PhD there, critically examining UK communications surveillance law. His doctoral thesis has since been reworked into a book. Since arriving in Australia in 2018, he continues to research in the fields of National Security and Criminal Justice, contributing to law reform in the areas of electronic surveillance and sexual offence laws.
